Join us during Samhain/All Hallows Day, marking the end of the harvest and the beginning of the darker half of the year. It is said that during this time the veil between two worlds of the living and the dead is at its thinnest. We can be more open to receiving the wisdom of our ancestors through the unconscious mind, this is a perfect opportunity to allow yourself the time to listen to and process the guidance your intuition receives from them.

MOVE

Over the past 2 years, Moving has become my Medicine, showing me on days when I feel absolutely stuck how that mirrors in my body through shortness of breath and contractive, repetitive thoughts and on days when I feel great this mirrors in my body with smooth long easy breaths and expansive, light and creative thoughts..

Knowing that we can affect our bodies and minds through breathing and moving is such a POWERFUL tool that's in your hands. It's also the way I start most days as I know with increased awareness that even if I don't want to when I begin - I won't want to stop when I finish as movement feels so good. Any movement that works for you!

Which is why we're starting this workshop with Movement; Claire will be begin by weaving us a sound journey with the gong, singing bowls, shamanic drum and more to take you out of your thinking mind and into a meditative state where you can allow what’s needing to come up for you in the moment.

We then flow through a 5 Rhythms style of unstructured free movements to shake off stale energy and become more present in our bodies.

DREAM

We then ground and anchor all that energy down by coming onto the floor to rest, relax and dream in Yoga Nidra. This is a deeply healing practice that returns awareness home to the body through a gently guided visualisation around the body.

Nidra is a Sanskrit word meaning sleep, and Yoga Nidra is often called “the yoga of sleep” because it is a form of guided meditation that uses relaxation and a system of organized and layered awareness to take you through a journey into a liminal state between waking and dreaming consciousness. It is here, in this liminal state, that you discover that your mind, body, and spirit together contain a pathway that leads to the gates of perfect presence, wholeness, and Oneness. Leaves you feeling rejuvenating and restorative.

WRITE

Much like Stream of Conscious writing from the iconic Artists Way; which is done as soon as u wake up. We will write 2-3 pages of uncensored, free association writing from the contents of your mind straight after waking from Nidra.

I do provide a couple of writing prompts to help with this process, as often the words can stop flowing or we start to analyse what we write. Which is not part of the plan! The whole process does wonders for helping to unblock the creative self and creates a bridge between conscious and subconscious minds.

*This 2-hour workshop will get you out of your head and into your body and allow you to access your higher mind and subconscious minds where all healing and integration happens, and deeper wisdom lives.

WHAT TO BRING?

A notebook or journal, a pen, a blanket or shawl, a lavender eye pillow or eye mask, a bottle of water and a smile!

Also as we will be lying down for 30 minutes for the Yoga Nidra part of the workshop, it's ideal for you to bring anything that helps you relax and settle the body so that the mind can also relax and settle, ie a favourite essential oil, a little cushion for the back of your head, extra pair of socks etc.

Grief is one of the hardest emotions to process and move through, while death is the only certainty in life, it is still often hidden, shunned and rarely discussed in the West. Throughout 2020 everyone suffered a loss of some kind, so essentially, we are collectively in the grieving process.

In these gatherings, we allow everyone a welcoming space to sit in circle - to share food or drink tea together, to feel safe enough to share - or not - with others who are also grieving a loss. There is no fixing, only deep listening and respect to everyone who speaks, allowing them to share their pain of loss without interruptions. There is deep healing in being seen and heard, in a safe and inclusive space. We also start with a grounding meditation to bring us fully into our bodies and the moment - no previous meditation experience necessary. In the midst of the pain of Grief, we often lose sight of some of the good things that exist in our lives, so we end with a little gratitude shoutout.

Simple acknowledgment of one thing which we are grateful for now in our present circumstances and lives.

Informed by my own early experiences of deep grief - the loss of my mother to illness at 10 and father to alcoholism at 30 - I know how painful, lonely and isolating the grieving process is. Also how much love and light can shine through us once we move through to the other side of Grief. There is deep Alchemy in this process, which can be seen felt and embodied in time.

I will be holding grief groups monthly, in person OR online; the last Saturday of each month, the next one is October 29th at 7:30pm.

Cost £10 Waged or £ 5 Unwaged.

Any questions feel free to DM me or call me on 07404891872.

This Boxing Day I'm inviting you to fully embrace Winter with the Withdrawal into stillness, softness and silence that the season is calling for. The YIN yoga class will be focused on the WINTER theme of turning inwards, which covers the Kidneys and Urinary Bladder; very restorative while the soothing Nidra practice returns awareness home to the whole body, here and now, as it is!

Yin and Yoga Nidra are such soothing practices that compliment each other in the way of Tuning into BE-ing instead of DO-ing..

🧿Yin yoga is mostly floor based poses that are held between 3-5 minutes with lots of props, allowing the stretch to be felt deeply into fascia and connective tissue.

A general sene of heavy, groundedness is felt after a Yin class, which is perfectly in tune with this Winter season of withdrawing into slow and still vibes.

🧿Nidra too is a Yin a PRACTICE, which allows your whole body to experience deep nourishing rest as we return awareness home to your body through a guided visualisation JOURNEY. Which can and does often take your mind into altered states of consciousness which is deeply restorative and rejuvenating. Can and often does contribute to vivid dreams when you go to actual sleep.

🧿Who's this for?

People who are YANG, ie always on the go, restless ones that rarely relax, slow down or just can't stop DO-ing.

🧿What do you need to do?

Create a cosy comfort space conducive to the Winter theme.Take the time beforehand to burn some incense and a couple of candles. Make yourself a nourishing brew of herbal tea (rosemary, cloves + juniper berries are perfect for NOW!)

Also bring an eye pillow, mask or scarf to cover your eyes, a shawl or small blanket, 2 blocks or heavy books and a bolster or rolled up blankets as a makeshift bolster.

Class is £8 if working or £5 donation if not!

Any questions DM me and please feel free to share with any friends/fam who may also need this nourishing, nurturing practice right now.

Enjoy your week and have a wonderful Christmas if you are celebrating.

Looking forward to some radical REST Together this Sunday.

🧿Inhale..exhale..

Yin is a slow reflective yoga practice with long holds of each pose, which allows the mind to quiet so the body can truly feel and respond to the sensations and impulses happening in the moment. Incorporates Traditional Chinese medicine which works into the meridians, fascia and balances the five elements. Truly a golden practice..

Yoga Nidra session follows. This is a deeply healing practice that has you dipping in and out of sleep, ie between your conscious and higher conscious minds journeying through altered states! Super healing and rejuvenating, which often results in quite vivid dreams!

So if you're body and mind are in need of deep nourishment and to slooow right down, this combo of Yin and Nidra will allow you to do just that..

If you wish to know more on the practice of yoga Nidra, please watch this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHIVoiwgJVQ

When? 15/08/21 / 5:30-7:30 pm.

Where? On my rooftop somewhere in Asala, maximum 10 people, please book early to avoid disappointment. The full address will be sent once booking is confirmed.

Cost? 200LE if in full-time work or 'visitor' OR 150LE if in part-time work or a Dahab local.

Also very open to exchanges and 'timebank' system of currency. Drop me a DM if you need this option, IE. You don't have money but have some exchangeable skills..

What to bring? All props provided, please do bring a soft scarf to cover your eyes, some water or hydrating fluids.

To close we will have a yummy Vegan dessert (included) and some chai to chat and share about experience and dive deep into what Radical Rest truly feels like!

Any questions DM me, otherwise stay well! xx

A diverse Women's circle to create connections of solidarity and sacred sisterhood, while also exploring our chakras, month by month..

WHY?

Women's circles are a very powerful way to bond with other women, sharing and being able to communicate your thoughts feelings, insights and visions in a safe space away from the male gaze. Magic does happen when women meet and connect so bringing back this ancient ritual is necessary for the grounding and growth of women; turning inwards and pulling back into our own power, which is often dormant or just forgotten in the dream of life.

Women's circles, Red Tents and Sacred Sisterhood are flourishing globally, as remembering our power of the Divine feminine is truly what the world needs right now to bring it back into balance and harmony. Not to exclude our Brothers, but when women gather we can share, offload and be pillars of strength and solidarity for each other so that when we come back to the world and back to our partners, there's calm, crystalised clarity + strength!

WHAT?

Get to know yourself on a deeper energetic level, through bonding with other women while journeying through the seven major Chakras (energy wheels) within your body.

Starting from the root right up the through to the crown chakra, we will be exploring these fascinating energy centres so that you can get a felt sense of the qualities of these energetic powerhouses.

Having centres that are energetically blocked, limits your conscious functioning, leading to continuation of repetitive behaviours that hold you back, keeping you from progressing to your greatest self.

You will understand the self deeper; physically, energetically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually.

HOW?

*Learn specific mantras, crystals + essential oils for each chakra

*Identify which emotions rule over which territories of the body.

*Recognize over- or under-active tendencies of each chakra.

*Incorporate practical lifestyle choices to balance each chakra.

WHEN?

Beginning on Sunday 08/03 . Doors Open at 7:30pm, for 8pm start.

Then monthly, on the closest Sunday to the full moon. Keep an eye on events or do sign up to newsletter for updates..

OTHER STUFF;

Please bring something simple to share as we have a light meal at the end!

If you would like to attend, however cannot afford the asking £10 fee, please reach out with an email as I am always open to exchanges..

Blessings xx

Yoga Nidra is an invitation to come as you are, lie down and allow your body to fully let go into a deep state of relaxation as my voice takes you on a guided meditation / exploration around your physical body.

Session starts with roughly 30 min of Yin Yoga then 45 min Nidra, where you set yourself up with pillows, blankets, lavender eye pillows and bolsters; The idea is that once your body is absolutely comfortable, it can also remain absolutely still and centre.

Nidra translates as Yogic Sleep, or sleep that is yoga, though in fact it's not a sleep but an awakening. It induces complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation.  Swami Rama describes it this way; ' Yoga Nidra is a state of conscious sleep in which one can record what is going on. There is a fine distinction between Yoga Nidra and Samadhi. In Yoga Nidra one can record those experiences which he cannot receive in the conscious state. When one cannot register something properly in the waking state,they can go into Yoga Nidra to register it..'

If you've never tried a Nidra class, you'd be pleasantly surprised at how it helps you feel deeply rejuvenated, as well as with a calm and clear state of mind

Women’s circles are a magical place for connection with ourselves, our sisters, our tribe. Something that most of us are missing and longing for in our hectic modern lives – that deeper sense of community and connection, sisterhood, belonging and bonding with likeminded women. Here we grow and heal together, so that when we return to our brothers and lovers and boys, we are simultaneously stronger, softer and more secure in ourselves; able to continue holding space for those who need us.

New and full Moons have amazing energy around them, perfect time to re-centre, reflect and set the tone for manifestations for the following month.

We usually start with a meditation, intention setting, then little intros and check ins over a tea ceremony to warm us up. Often we pull out the tarot cards for some fun and guidance , quite quickly we find we are able to relax, go deeper into ourselves -and connect to our own knowing and wisdom.

Every woman has time, space and the opportunity to share anything they’d like to, with no interruptions from other woman; a deep listening space is offered and so necessary to healing.

We share food at the end and have a nice meditation to close..

Open to all women, liminals POC and non-binary welcome.

See you all soon!

Namaste x

Really pleased to share that I will finally be starting a new monthly women’s circle- held either on Full moon night or the Sunday closest to the Full moon!

What?

Women’s circles— are safe, sacred spaces for us to tune out of daily life and demands, reconnect to our divine feminine, to our wisdom, strength and passion. The practice is informally infused with elements of my training in yoga, meditation, movement, ancient Egyptian heritage, chakra knowledge, and moon magic. Each circle is a gift and each woman joining is adding her flavour to the larger circle of sisterhood and solidarity, which is often lacking in today’s world.

We sit in a circle, start with a check in; a chance to share who you are, how you’re truly feeling and have a few minutes each to speak about anything you desire. There is true power in just being heard, really listened to. No advice is offered and no interruptions for each speaker. No obligation to speak either for shy or first timers..

At the end of the session, we will have a light meal, so please do bring anything homemade or that you wish to share to add to the mood of nourishment and connection. After all food is life.

Why? To heal, connect and provide support for one another. Safe spaces for women to let go, share and connect without the male gaze, without the need to be in business or professional persona mode. To completely and utterly allow oneself to just be.

Intimate gatherings where women discuss goals, concerns, stories, and advice—have been around since ancient times. Across history there have been many societies including Ancient Egyptians, native Americans to the Ulithi of the South Pacific, to the Beng of Africa’s Ivory Coast,where Women’s circles and Red tents were the norm.

In the temples of India, Egypt, Greece, Rome, Sumeria, and ancient Europe, women were taught to develop their powers of perception, intuition, and how to refine the powerful energy of emotion. They learned how to awaken nurture and enhance their feminine gifts. Today, women are reclaiming their spiritual power and innate wisdom, creating community and taking up leadership once more.

When? Full moon night or the closest to Sunday to the full moon.

We will cover varying topics and themes including Self Love, Forgiveness, Family, Friendships, Transitions, Health & Wellness, Moon Circles, and more.

Intention setting will be a major part of the Women’s Circles, which doesn’t need to be voiced however highly useful for each participant to have an Intention they wish to connect to and manifest from and through that space.

There is no obligation to share or speak unless one wants to, but no interruptions or unsolicited advice to any other ladies who choose to speak.

Any questions, please do get in touch!

Yoga Nidra is an invitation to come as you are, lie down and allow your body to fully let go into a deep state of relaxation as my voice takes you on a guided meditation / exploration around your physical body.

Session starts with roughly 15 min of Yin Yoga then 45 min Nidra, where you set yourself up with pillows, blankets, lavender eye pillows and bolsters; The idea is that once your body is absolutely comfortable, it can also remain absolutely still and centre.

Nidra translates as Yogic Sleep, or sleep that is yoga, though in fact it's not a sleep but an awakening. It induces complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation.  Swami Rama describes it this way; ' Yoga Nidra is a state of conscious sleep in which one can record what is going on. There is a fine distinction between Yoga Nidra and Samadhi. In Yoga Nidra one can record those experiences which he cannot receive in the conscious state. When one cannot register something properly in the waking state,they can go into Yoga Nidra to register it..'

If you've never tried a Nidra class, you'd be pleasantly surprised at how it helps you feel deeply rejuvenated, as well as with a calm and clear state of mind!
